No Water Boom.

Reno has been booming ON all sorts

is the water boom. The operation of
the fight over saw.dust In the water is
insldious. II attracts attention 10 the
growth of the town without having
the appearance of being an advertise.
menI aud may be compared to a love
story or war anecdote, which the unsus.
pectiLg reader finds packed around
patent medicine puff. We thought we
had show at the same infercntial
method of showing that our town is
an important place. After the water
tunnel was finished and there was
more water than the pipes would
carry, reports came to town that the
Indians were bathing in the reservoir.
Several discussions were had, mum
Der of citizens found that they had
noticed peculiar taste for some days,
but acknowledged that they did not
know what P.ute soup tasted like.
There would have been big kick,
great excitement and outside atten.
tion would have been drawn to the
importance of place where the pu.
rity OF its water supply received SO
much public consideration. We might
in the end have got bank, wooden
mill or possibly the orphans home,
II turned out though that the Indians
had been seen in the reservoir below
the pipes where the waste water is
caught, and the prospective boom kick
ed the bucket. AS The aborigines found
that going irto The water took off some
of the dirt it is not likely that they
can be persuaded to give us another
chance by getting iuto the pond mp in
the hills whence the pipes are filed.

Now said he "that there lump on
the leaf up there somehow puts me in
mind of Jim Townsend's wen. He's n
queer fellow and tells some mighty
queer stories [ sometimes don't
think that he altogether believes them
himself. Why, when he was here last
Winter he WAS around talking to
Brown. Brown had little boil on
the buck of his neck and asked
Townsend to look at it and see If it
was ripe. Well, sir that started him
talking, and he told Brownie about 4
partner OF his that he was prospecting
with over in Mammoth.
Said he, That's where partner of
mine had a curious sore place once.
He couldn't look al it himself and he
showed ii to me. Ii was too big for
a pimple and it didn't look like boil
,r carbnucle, but it was sore and
kept hurting him. | felt it aud il
would move around with the hide SO
we concluded it was wen, but it kept
on getting big and hurting him and |
took another look at 1t. You may
swallow me for shrimp if it didn't
seem as ii it was going to seed. 1t was
full of seeds, you could feel them. !
ner WAS afraid he might begin 10

Kimball moved to a softer key AMI
continued.
II was sitting there saying moth.
ing and | wondered il jim himself be.
lievcd what he was saying. Browns
eyes were sticking out, he believed il
all. Well, Jim kept on,
1T was good thing for him that
was there for he couldn't look al it and
he couldn't very well reach it to feel
how it was getting on. 1t kept getting
bigger and hurt all the time. AT last
thought II had better be opened, and
made II slit in Ii with razor. Su
help me Ananias and Saphira if il
wasn't full Of thousands of little black
spiders. | guess that some time when
he was liitle full d spider had got III
him and laid the eggs. "
Klmball shifted again to another
key and resumed:
"You ought to have seen Browns
eyes, he believed every word of it and
they stuck out 81 tar that they wabblesi
around and Tapped oyer each other
| He had to untangle them with his fin
